What this book is about --
Set in modern-day London, this first book in a gripping new trilogy introduces young magician's apprentice Nathaniel. Humiliated by a hotshot wizard, Nathaniel summons the not-so-tame djinni, Bartimaeus, and sends him to steal the Amulet of Samarkand.
Why I like this book -- This is the first book of the Bartimaeus Trilogy. This book has adventure and interesting characters. I think those who like the Harry Potter books will like this fantasy trilogy.
